She was wearing very little and, unless I’ve remembered wrongly, she was barefoot.”
“Don’t forget, you had a girl in your apartment.
THE BOOK OF SHEMAIAH SKIN
Her shirt collar was open and her skin was very white, and those long legs in sleek black stockings were enticing. However, that book, which did not so much as touch on politics, stirred up a great deal of trouble for you. Sold at a reduced price as a second-grade product, it was still expensive, exactly the amount of advance royalty you had received for your book. It was a clipped woollen carpet made for export, that had gone on the domestic market. She sat on the carpet with her back against the bookcase. You had finally obtained a little apartment, a decent refuge, a home, and you had a fortress to protect yourself from the political storms outside. You, of course, also remember that winter night, you had candles burning, which added to the warmth, and you couldn’t tell if there was anyone downstairs watching your window. I didn’t know much Chinese at the time but I remember that night, I had a strange feeling.” You and Peter were talking all the time, although I don’t recall what about. “I was struggling to understand what was being said. “That night you sat quietly opposite me but didn’t say much.” “It was because it was too hot in the room and we’d been cycling for more than an hour.” “You were so bright red, it was impossible not to notice.” Blushing white skin and bright red lips even with no lipstick. As soon as you came through the door you took off your big padded coat and your scarf, and there stood a very beautiful young foreign woman!” “I remember you, of course I remember you. I didn’t speak much Chinese and it was hard to make Chinese friends.” Back then, I’d only just arrived in Beijing to study. I heard that he’s now the boss of a company he had started up. He was a representative in the China office of a German company, found a Chinese girl, married her, and took her back to Germany. At the time he was passionate about Mao’s Cultural Revolution and we used to argue often, but he’d been a friend for some time. Peter was an exception, he’d come to China to study Chinese. “I didn’t have a line installed because I didn’t want friends talking carelessly on the phone, and also to avoid having anything to do with foreigners. You were old friends, he said, and as he was taking me to your home it was best going at night to avoid being stopped and questioned.” It will be highly appreciated if you can forward this invite across your Colleagues/Friends and request more registrations / submissions, which can help the most, since we have a better reach across continents and being accessed by readers globally and note the Journal will deposit the issues (electronic format) in National Library, Singapore.“It was Peter who suddenly thought to drop in on you, without phoning.
